Bandro’s story…

A woolly-coated ‘honey coloured teddy bear’…

Bandro loves her food, but her keepers say “she’s not fat, she’s just extra fluffy!”

She gets around…

by climbing bamboo and papyrus reeds, until they bend and she can hop to the next one, although she can still manage the famous ‘lemur leap’ too! Not bad for a mother of 7!

How Durrell helps Alaotran gentle lemurs

Our Durrell Madagascar team has been working with the local government to help establish a new legally protected area. In 2003, the entire Lac Alaotra area, over 722,000 hectares, was designated a protected area under the Ramsar Convention, an international treaty for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources. In addition, Durrell staff in conjunction with the local people, finalised the creation of a new 43, 000 hectare protected area centred around the lake, helping to further safeguard the lemur habitat.
